LEONIDAS CHRISTAKIS (1928–2009) Boy and Girl Signed in Greek and dated 56 (lower left) oil on panel 100 x 60 cm (39.37 × 23.62 in.)) Painted in 1956 oil on panel Footnotes: A legendary painter, author, publisher, and bohemian intellectual, Leonidas Christakis was one of the most compelling figures of the Greek underground avant-garde during the postwar decades. His figurative painting of the 1950s relied on the schematization of flattened forms rendered in an angular manner and juxtaposed against rigid geometric shapes, a style sharing certain affinities with Bernard Buffet’s portraiture. This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: * * VAT on imported items at the preferential rate (currently 5.5%) on the hammer price and buyer’s premium for works of art, collectibles, and antiques if the item remains in the EU.
